Mr. Harry S. Harkness Pays $4,100, 
- Highest Price of Sale, for “Edge 


| of the Village.” 


Distinguished American artists and men 
and women of society seated in the as- 
sembly room of the American Art Gal- 
leries, No. 6 East Twenty-third street, 
last night, saw eighty-one paintings, com- 
prising the second part of the collection 
of the late Henry Ward Ranger, sold for 
| $42,365, bringing the total receipts for the 
entire collection up to $77,805. Of this 
|amount 129 pictures by Mr. Ranger him- 
jself yielded $66,240, or an average of about 
$513 a picture. The latter figure consti- 
tutes a record in this country for a sale 
of this number of pictures by a single 
artist. The last high record was $337, 
|hung up at the sale of the Wyant collec- 
tion some twenty-five years ago. 

Harry S. Harkness paid the highest price 
of the final session and of. the sale when 
he acquired, for $4,100, “The Edge of the 
Village,” one of the last pictures painted 
by Mr. Ranger, in 1916. It represents a 
New England town seen from a distance 
\through a vista formed by two gnarled 
joaks. Two Ranger favorites, “I'win Trees” 
and “Misty Afternoon, Rathburn Pond,” 
went for $2,500 each, the former to C. A. 
Black and the latter to H. A. Rudkin. 
There was hearty applause when these 
pictures were placed on the stand. A

PREFATORY NOTE 


The occasions have been rare when extensive public sales 
have been made of the work of any single artist of note. We 
can most readily recall the names of Wyant, Inness and 
Twachtman, whose studio contents were sold after their death; 
the first named some twenty-five years ago, the others following 
within a very few years. In each case surprise was expressed 
at the number of pictures left by these artists, the fact being 
overlooked that their work represented many years. This is 
equally true of the collection of pictures by Mr. Ranger here 
catalogued. For reasons best known to himself, almost every 
one of what we consider his best working years seems to have 
seen something reserved. Had he been aiming at leaving behind 
a chronological collection of his canvases for preservation in 
one group, he could hardly have chosen differently. The pic- 
tures now to be seen together for the last time doubtless give 
the opportunity Mr. Ranger desired to enable the public to 
make an estimate of his life work. It is true that to-day’s 
estimate may not be the final one. It rarely happens that 
artists are fairly judged until time furnishes a proper per- 
spective. 

Up to within his last eight or ten years, Mr. Ranger was 
a fairly prolific painter. Gradually he tarried longer and 
longer over each canvas, and was often heard to say, during 
the last few years, that he would be very happy if he could 
produce each year four or five canvases that came near satis- 
fying his critical estimate of his own work. 

Only a few intimate friends, from time to time, saw the 
pictures of his last year grow under his hand. Many will 


surely be interested in seeing them now;—they are described 


in the catalogue, but will be readily recognized without written 
description. 

In his chosen method of painting, Mr. Ranger always bore 
in mind time’s effect on his pigments. He always declared that 
passing years, mellowing and ripening them, would greatly 
enhance the beauty of his pictures. That this prophecy has 
been abundantly fulfilled, his older canvases give ample proof. 

It was Mr. Ranger’s custom to make direct out-of-doors 
sketches for all his pictures; sometimes careful pencil studies, 
of which his note books are full, at other times free oil sketches 
on small academy boards or panels. From these he painted 
his larger pictures. The sketches that appealed to him most 
he occasionally took up again and in finishing them produced 
some of his most intimate, charming pictures. Modest in size 
and fine in quality, they will doubtless be much prized.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 


1. Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance 
may be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid 
would be likely to affect the sale injuriously. } 

2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute 
arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either de- 
cide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 

3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the pur- 
chase money as may be required, and the names and addresses of 
the purchasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, 
in default of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put 
up again and re-sold. 

Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at 
the time of sale shall be made within ten days thereafter, in de- 
fault of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the 
lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be 
necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or 
private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots 
for the benefit of such purchaser, and the deficiency (if any) aris- 
ing from such re-sale shall be a charge against such purchaser. 

4, Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon pay- 
ment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 

Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 
9 A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except holidays— 
between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. 

Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American 
Art Galleries, or other place of sale, as the case may be, and only 
on presenting the bill of purchase. 

Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, 


of any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 


5, Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business 
in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be 
performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association 
will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing 
at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, 
however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part 
for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 

6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the 
purchaser. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 
and thereafter, while the Association will exercise due caution in 
caring for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself 
responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. 

Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed 
within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. 

7. Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Asso- 
ciation of the correctness of the description, genuineness or au- 
thenticity of any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of 
any incorrectness, error of catologuing, or any imperfection not 
noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior 
to its sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. 

The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot 
correctly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trust- 
worthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly cata- 
logued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued 
or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would 
become responsible for such damage as might result were his 
opinion without proper foundation.

THE SENTINEL 


A micutTy oak, aged and gnarled, stands impressive in its soli- 


tariness and grandeur in an open, ploughed up field. The russet 
tones of autumn over foliage and landscape give the picture 
a rich Rousseau-like quality. To the left is a waste of scrub, 
and at the right are two smaller oaks, lesser guardians of the 
woods behind them. The sky is crowded with huge banks of 
clouds surcharged with rain and in fitting harmony with the 
almost desolate landscape below. In contrast to this feeling 
of solitude are the two patches of blue sky, deeper overhead 


and lighter at the horizon.

A VIEW OF THE SOUND 


_ Height, 28 inches; length, 36 inches 


A creat oak, sparsely foliated, stands at the left of the fore- 
ground, which is in deep shadow. Back of this a mass of trees 
of more slender growth and covered with foliage tinged lightly 
with autumn colors grow down to the water’s edge. Between 
these trees and those at the right of the canvas the scene opens 
on a clear view of the Sound straight across to the opposite 
shore. The water near the shore takes on the blue colors of 
the sky overhead, and toward the farther shore reflects the 
brightness of the sun-touched clouds. Two men have drawn 
their red boat on shore and are resting in the shadow of the 


trees.

Looxine into the woods the eye rests on a huge oak which 
stands a short distance from the foreground. Two heavy limbs 
grow from the left base of the tree and reach outward and up- 
ward to the top of the canvas. The foreground is thickly 
carpeted with dried autumn leaves, reflecting here and there 
patches of bright sunlight filtering through the foliage above. 
The ground rises slightly back of the oak and is covered with 
a dense growth of trees clothed in the rich tones of the late 
autumn. In the clearing at the right men are burning leaves,

A pEEP and much furrowed wagon road leads from the fore- 
ground between rows of stately, slender trees of gray-green 
foliage and disappears in the distance. A clearing has been 
made on either side of this rough road and the cordwood is 
piled by the way. Masses of clouds, dull and heavy overhead, 
lighter and indefinite as they extend horizonward, move lazily 
across the great expanse of sky, blue patches of which show in- 
termittently through the breaks.

Over the narrow strip of water seen in the distance, and on 
the marshy land this side of it, the moon throws its silvery 
light. The foreground is roughened with rocks and tough 
grasses, and just beyond, to the left, a couple of workmen 
with their horses plod wearily along. Across the water, on 
which two ships le lazily at anchor, the distant shore fades 
into the night. The ring of atmosphere around the moon is 
vibrant with its light, but outside this the sky is a dark tur- 
quoise and is spread aloft with the sombre clouds of night, 


with here and there a star showing. 
Signed at left, and dated 1915.

SUNSET ON THE MYSTIC RIVER, CONN. 


Us chew haa 


Tue Corotesque trees in the foreground are silhouetted against 
a sky suffused with the soft golden light of the evening sun. 
At the foot of a tall, stately tree which spreads its fan-shape 
branches across the top of the canvas a man sits in quiet 
contemplation of the peaceful scene spread before him. On 
the river, which reflects the golden sky above, another man 
rows his boat shorewards, and across the water the soft 
shadowy outline of Mason’s Island merges gradually into the 
pale blue distance. The sky is traversed with soft, fleecy 
clouds, richly colored in gold and purple.

Mornine breaks on a busy scene over the waters of the Sound. 
The sun, just above the horizon, throws its shafts of warming 
light over the clear, cold water, and paints the clouds above 
it in rosy, cheerful tints. Men stand conversing in groups on 
the old weather-beaten docks at the left, and a few have gotten 
into the boats that will take them to their ships riding peace- 
fully at anchor at the right. The distance is almost obliter- 
ated by the strong Turneresque light, and only the tall, slender 


masts are visible through it. 
Signed at left, and dated 1915.

A marsuy foreground, in deep shadow, with some scraggly 
trees growing alongside a stone fence, is separated from the 
land in the distance by a small creek, the waters of which 
reflect the gray clouds and blue sky. Two men are fishing by 
the creek’s edge. The sky is heavy with cumulus clouds over- 
head, becoming lighter in mass as they approach the horizon.

ACROSS THE SOUND yee 


NY ‘ Crarkhe Height, 28 inches; length, 36 inches 


THE eye rests for just a moment on the shadowed foreground 
with its graceful old elm tree standing guard over the old frame 
houses at the right, and then travels down the road and across 
the light blue waters of the Sound. A couple of fishing vessels 
lie at the wharf alongside the village store at the end of the 
road. The sky is a pale blue overhead becoming paler as it 
nears the horizon. Clouds filled with sunlight flit lightly across 
the sky and give the whole scene an air of cheerfulness. White 
sails reflecting the sunlight are dimly indicated in the distance.
